Snapshot: Canada and world this week in pictures

Edmonton Sun’s David Bloom caught this telling photo of former Alberta premier Alison Redford as she left the Alberta legislature after announcing her resignation Wednesday. Bloom was looking for the right shot to capture Redford’s defeat, but he had to work for it. After smiling and waving and leaving the stage, Redford moved towards a back stairway. Bloom managed to jog through the building and wheel around in time to catch her and the deputy premier descend the stairs. “I realized I was the only photographer who had been able catch up to the pair. About 15 feet from the exit the pair parted and I was able to grab a couple frames as she walked out the door to her waiting car.”
